Someone who is a vegetarian said to me the other day that the common view that meat is complete protein is true, but that once meat undergoes prolonged cooking (like boiling, baking, or frying), at least a couple of the amino acids are going to be lost. So if you think you're getting quality complete protein from meat, that's not correct (according to him).
I haven't been able to find anything online about this one way or the other, and I'm curious if anyone in the BL community might know the truth?
I know that cooking breaks down some of the natural enzymes in meat, like it does in vegetables... but no idea about complete proteins.
